9. When
The shopkeeper sighed, took down the rune casually, and handed it to Jiajing: "Alas, it's not that it is not for sale, but that there is obviously a contract beast in this rune, and the great magician will not waste magic power to lift the seal for such a low-level rune, so it has been hanging in the store." ”
Jiajing took the rune and weighed it twice: "Who is its original owner?"
The shopkeeper scratched his head with a wry smile: "I just don't know, alas, when I was carrying the goods in the past, I was careless, and I thought that the spar on the top of this rune was dim, and I thought that the contract beast had not been sealed, and I wasted a lot of gold coins in vain." ”
Jiajing put the rune back in the clerk's hand and shook his head: "Then this thing is scrapped, it's not worth a few gold coins." ”
When the shopkeeper saw Jiajing returning the things, he was also disappointed, he drooped his head and muttered: "Alas, it's all because I was too careless and accepted such a broken thing." ”
"Or sell me for a gold coin. Jiajing suddenly stretched out his hand, spread his palm, and motioned for the clerk to put the rune up again.
The clerk looked at the shopkeeper and didn't dare to move.
The shopkeeper couldn't imagine that Jiajing would actually spend a gold coin to buy such a scrap product, and asked with an incredulous face: "Master, are you sure you want to buy this rune?"
Jiajing nodded puzzledly: "Come on, I'm not short of this money." ”
The shopkeeper motioned to the clerk to give him the rune, and when Jiajing took the rune, the shopkeeper was still reluctant: "Alas, the cheapest sealing rune originally cost more than two hundred gold, and if you sell it for one gold, I can buy a lesson." ”
Jiajing secretly thought that these runes were really expensive, and he didn't know what the sky-high price was when the gold coins were converted into paper money.
The monthly income of the civilians here should be about five silver, and the soldiers are better, and they can receive two gold coins a month.
In this way, even if a soldier does not eat or drink, it will take 36 years to buy low-level runes.
No wonder in Arad's convoy, only Arad has a rune.
Jiajing still had more than 50 gold on his body, so he took out a gold coin from it and handed it to the clerk.
After the shopkeeper took it, he repeatedly confirmed that it was not a counterfeit currency, so he casually put it on the black bracelet on his wrist and smiled: "Hehe, take it, master." I wonder if you need anything else?"
Jiajing looked at the bracelet on the shopkeeper's wrist in surprise, "Your bracelet can store gold coins?"
The shopkeeper had just finished a small business and was in a good mood, so he said proudly: "Well, this is called a storage bracelet, which can hold any dead object, but there is a certain capacity limit." My bracelet is relatively low-level, and the volume of the things placed cannot exceed one cubic meter, and the weight cannot exceed five hundred kilograms......" The shopkeeper looked at Jiajing's face with disgust, and hurriedly continued: "Don't look at it as low-level, this is a rare treasure with no price, my one thing, at least worth 10,000 gold, and it is also handed down from generation to generation by my family, and it is not sold for any money." I've heard that those high-end items made of memory metal not only have a larger capacity, but can also store living things with vital signs. ”
When Jiajing heard the price he quoted, he immediately lost the slightest desire to buy.
Although it would be much safer and more convenient for the peacemaker to store his such a thing, it was still a question of where he could find so much money to buy it, and whether he could buy it.
It's better to leave some money around here to see if you can do something, so Jiajing casually said a few words to the shopkeeper and left in a hurry.
Jiajing had just walked out of the door more than ten meters, thinking that there were still some magic potions and the like that he didn't understand, so he turned around and returned to the front of the store, but suddenly heard a conversation from inside that made him frown slightly.
"This magic crystal is a low-grade product, it is worth a silver coin at most, boy, can you sell it? I am the only one in the city who collects the magic crystal, I will not lie to you!" This was the voice of the shopkeeper.
Another voice sounded very immature, "No, this magic crystal, our eldest brother said it was worth three silver coins!"
The shopkeeper was obviously not as polite to this kid as he was to Jiajing, so he only heard him say coldly: "Listen, just a silver, boy, I have noticed you a long time ago, you don't dare to come in just now when there are guests, these magic crystals are not coming in the right way!"
The childish voice was silent for a long time, "Okay, one silver is one silver, here are three magic crystals!"
The shopkeeper's tone was a little better, and he said, "Well, Sanyin, take it." If there are any magic crystals in the future, just bring them all. Rest assured, we businessmen are talking about integrity and win-win, and we will never report you. ”
Jiajing suddenly thought of something: those magic crystals should be the ones he stole from.
When the thin boy came out of the magic shop, Jiajing followed him quietly.
I saw that the boy, who was only about eleven or twelve years old, walked around for a long, long time, and finally bought a large bag of inferior bread in a dilapidated bakery with a bad business, and then went all the way to the west.
The bear child had just walked into a dilapidated ancient temple.
Jiajing was afraid of losing it, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and chased after him. I saw a dozen little children gobbling up a little rancid bread, and just now the bear child was holding a yellow-haired boy lying under a dilapidated idol, holding water in one hand and feeding him bread crumbs in the other.
They were obviously extremely hungry, from the time the young man went in to the time when Jiajing came in, it was a few tens of seconds at most, but they had already eaten more than half of their bread.
The children, both male and female, were about ten years old, except for the boy who was lying on the hay, who looked a little older, all of them unkempt, skinny, with tattered clothes, dirty all over, and some of them had scars on their bodies, which must have been wounded for a short time.
Sunlight fell through the hole in the roof of the ruined temple, forming many spots on the ground, and many spots of light shook down on them.
Jiajing knew that the boy lying on the weeds was the little thief who stole his bag, but Jiajing didn't immediately go over to teach him a lesson, just stood and looked around.
When the young man saw Jiajing come in, his face immediately turned a lot pale, and he struggled to get up, while praying in a trembling voice: "It's none of their business, I stole the things, and they will come at me if they want to fight or kill!"
When the children heard the boy say this, they all looked up at Jiajing, and their faces changed at the moment, and they didn't care about the bread, so they all picked up the sharp wooden sticks beside them and blocked the young man's front.
Their eyes were fierce and their expressions were resolute, and they were all staring at Liu Fu Jiajing.
The other bear child was holding a dagger, biting his lip and glaring at Jiajing viciously.
The eldest boy suddenly couldn't stop coughing, and a touch of red appeared on his dark cheeks, although he struggled, he still scolded everyone: "Cough...... Ahem...... What are you doing! Sit down for me, don't do anything!"
He has seen Jiajing's bag, the guy who can carry the magic crystal and those valuables with him, his strength will definitely not be bad, these children who can't even eat enough, where will Jiajing's opponent.
